Kendrick Lamar The Day The Party Died

I think it's time to watch the party die This shit done got too wicked to apologize It's different, get him whacked and disqualified We even kill the killers 'cause they like taking innocent lives Burn a whole village, we start over, it's really that time Why reason with these niggas if they can't see the future first? Why argue with these clowns if the circus is well at work? Just walk that man down, that'll do everyone a solid It's love, but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence If you parade in gluttony without givin' truth to the youth The graveyard is company, just tell us what casket to choose They party more than bitches, tell me, what are you working for? They glorify scamming, you get chipped over this credit card Influencers talked down 'cause I'm not with the basic shit But they don't hate me, they hate the man that I represent The type of man that never dickride 'cause I want a favor The man that resides in patience, so where the soldiers at? The one's that lost it all and learnt to learn from that A thirst for life, head inside a book 'cause he concerned with that Information that'll change his life because he yearns for that Dedication, findin' out what's right 'cause he can earn from that I feel for the women that deal with the clown and nerd shit Can't blame them, today they ain't really got much to work with How many bitches harder than a lot of you niggas? Would trade all of y'all for Nip, I can't be proud of you niggas God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me Dear God, keep me shinin', the fuck do they really think? Pocket-watching, you must be the police God, bless these words, dear God, bless how I think Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse 'em with me Dear God, please forgive me, you knowin' how hard I tried I think it's time for me to watch the party die (Uh-huh, huh) Get 'em gone, we gon' watch the party die (Uh-huh) Send 'em home, we gon' watch the party die I think it's time to watch the party die Street niggas and the corporate guys, the rappers that report the lies I need they families mortified We can do life without 'em, get they bodies organized, tell me if you obliged No more pillow-talkin', jump-startin' neighborhood wars Dirty-mackin' bitches because your spirit is insecure The flashy nigga with nasty decisions usin' money as a backbone I want his head cracked before he's back home The radio personality pushin' propaganda for salary Let me know when they turn up as a casualty, I want agony Assault, and battery, I see a new Earth Filled with beautiful people makin' humanity work Let's kill the followers that follow up on poppin' mollies from The obvious, degenerates, that's failing to acknowledge the Hope that we tryna spread, if I'm not his vote Then you need to bring his fuckin' head, I'll film that shit in hi-res God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me Dear God, keep me shinin', the fuck do they really think? Pocket-watching, you must be the police God bless these words, dear God, bless how I think Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse 'em with me Dear God, please, forgive me, you knowin' how hard I tried I think it's time for me to watch the party die Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do Fuck these niggas up or show 'em just what prayer do? I want to be empathetic, my heart like Dee-1 But I will– It's time to get these devils out the way, heavy metals on my sword We settle hard disputes today, the ghetto Hollywood divorce Say hello to your future fate, the culture bred with carnivores You let 'em snack, they eat your face, the signatures is bein' forged They wonder why I'm not enthused to drop The more visible you get, the more your spiritual is tried It's cynical to say I know these artists petrified The end result, in jail by Jezebel or drugged up full of lies Critical, I know my physical is tested all the time I'm pitiful, sunken place soon as I'm questionin' my pride I'm seein' ghosts, blackin' out, relapsin' one thought at a time I spare no feelings that ain't mine, I'm in my feelings when I slide, I mean A nigga wonder what Lecrae would do Terrace Martin said I'm mentally with layers, true I flood the market with my best regards, I paid your dues And so it's up, if you ain't one of ours, it's bad news My nigga Jay Estrada said I gotta burn it down to build it up That confirmation real as fuck, it ain't too many real as us Lockin' in to what I trust, lookin' outside The kids live tomorrow 'cause today, the party just died
